Rivera,

I loved your rafting/kayaking shots the other day and like the merganser photos too. I was lucky to get shots of two of the three over the past couple of weeks. I've got to keep my eyes open for the Common Merganser, which I have yet to capture.

Thanks for sharing.

Thanks jak. The common variety is the most common around here. (sorry about the bad pun). The hooded are the ones I least often see. If you are ever out my way I will be happy to tell you where you are most likely to see the commons.

Thanks. So where is "out my way"? I'm in Southern California. As for hooded mergansers, I had never seen them until this year. In the past two weeks I have seen them twice, at two separate locations. The first was an immature...probably male. The second was a pair, male and female, in a canal overhung with branches. Unfortunately, though I got a good look, they were moving away from me. I'll keep looking.

Thanks. I’ll keep that in mind. Common mergansers are supposed to be found here, but we may be to urban for their taste. Have a great day!

Make that “...too urban for their taste.”
